General information
The course gives an introduction to river basin modelling using HEC-RAS.
HEC-RAS is a software program that models hydrodynamics of flow in a river and/or channel. It is used to determine if for a given discharge the flow exceeds the river bank levels. Flooding studies can be carried out to determine the flood extent and volume.
Prerequisites: It is expected that participants have good computer skills and basic knowledge of hydraulics.
Course content
- Introduction to river flow routing;
- Basic equations of unsteady flow in rivers;
- Introduction to HEC-RAS. Modelling capabilities;
- Modelling Floods using HEC-RAS;
- Structures;
- Modelling dam breaks.
Methods
- Lectures;
- Computer exercises.
Upon completion, the participant should be able to:
- Setup a HEC-RAS model
- Calibrate a HEC-RAS model
- Use HEC-RAS for hydraulic modelling
- Interpret results of a HEC-RAS model

NFP, MSP and SIDS Fellowships
Most of our short courses are eligible for NFP, MSP and SIDS Fellowships. Candidates from eligible countries are always encouraged to apply for one.
You will need to have academic admission at UNESCO-IHE before you apply for an fellowship. Please be aware that the UNESCO-IHE application deadline and the fellowship application deadlines are different.
The UNESCO-IHE deadline is mentioned on each individual Short Course webpage, the fellowship deadlines are listed here:
You may register by filling out the online application form available at the webpage of the Short Course of your preference. Within 15 working days you will be notified about the outcome of your application. You will receive more details about how to apply for the fellowship when you are academically admitted. In case you would like to be nominated for a NFP/MSP fellowship, please note that you can apply for only one course per deadline.
For fellowships, other than NFP, MSP or SIDS, use Nuffic's grantfinder.
